Are portobello mushroom burgers vegetarian?
Technically yes, but one ingredient in our recipe isn’t 100% vegetarian: Worcestershire sauce. We love the smoky taste it gives these shrooms, but most contain anchovies, making them not fully vegetarian. If you’re looking to swap it out, look for a Worcestershire that doesn’t use anchovies, or simply swap it out for low-sodium soy sauce.
